FrostyTech posted a review on the Glacialtech Igloo 5761 Silent Heatsink



Standing 89mm tall, the lower profile Glacialtech Igloo 5761 Silent heatsink is a relatively compact cooler as modern thermal solutions go. Small through it is, Glacialtech should have limited this cooler to 85W TDP processors.

The Igloo 5761 Silent heatsink uses a familiar top-down-fan approach, with three 6mm diameter exposed base heatpipes conducting heat from the CPU to a small thin aluminum fin cooling stack. The cooling fins are topped off by a bright yellow 92x92x25mm PWM vaneaxial fan that operates at a fixed speed of 1200RPM. The fan outputs roughly 34CFM of air according the mfgr's specs, the airflow being directed down through the aluminum fin array and past the three intersecting copper heatpipes.

Glacialtech's Igloo 5761 Silent heatsink weighs a feathery 350 grams and comes with a pre-applied patch of thermal interface material so installation is a snap. It retails for about $20 USD. The heatsink is compatible with Intel socket LGA1155/1156/775 and lower TDP AMD socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2 processors.
